I dream of making android apps and I am sure that you don´t need to take Java course here to start coding in Android Studio and fall in LOOOOve with it. I know that in the beginning of the android track the teacher explains evrething you need to know. But if you dive deeper, you will surely need more Java understanding.
So for me I decided to take 3-4 month and learn Java Basics with Craig from scratch. And now I am sure I will deepen my Java beginner-knowledge taking Android developing course here. So next days I will start the android track and go for both courses.
I am sure that no matter what you are starting with ... it will be awesome and you will learn a lot.
Keep on rockin coding-bro !

10,365 PointsI have no programming experience too. But if you are excited as hell, as I am ... the journey will be stony but fun !!!
And I recommend to start with the java basic course and then move on with the android stuff, or better both courses....

So you started with Java Basics track with Criag before jumping inot Android Developing track. Well I am also interested in learning Android Developing. Do you recommend going for the Java Basics before **Android Developing? I guess Sukhman Singh has this same question for you.
Thanks!

10,365 PointsI would go with both courses and use this Forum all the time :) Read questions and try to answer them, google everething you are interestet in. Use YouTube (Derek Banas, New Boston and Slide Nerd) for Research and Stack Overflow.
